4 PAGE 4 SERVICE BULLETIN NO A G4 JAM - See Figures 2 and 3 The G4 JAM (Jupiter Application Master) is the main computer. The G4 JAM is labeled as address #J1. The G4 JAM is connected to the J42 Board which provides the physical connection between the G4 JAM and the Jupiter Network Modules (input / output) on the machine. The G4 JAM consists of the following: (1) USB: Two connections used to connect USB devices (printer, memory sticks, etc.) to G4 JAM. (2) PC CARD: External access card slot and eject button for PCMCIA memory card not used. An internal access card slot (behind cover plate) is used for a compact flash memory card that contains the Jupiter computer program software. See G4 JAM Memory Card for removing or installing the compact flash memory card. (3) RESET: Switch resets power to G4 JAM. If depressed and released, G4 JAM will shut down and then reboot. (4) POWER: Switch controls on / off power to G4 JAM. If switch is depressed to shut G4 JAM off, switch must be repressed to reboot G4 JAM. Important: The switch may feel that it is not mechanically maintained when it is depressed, though it does latch in the On or Off state. (5) MIC: Microphone connection not used. (6) LINE IN: Audio / Video Input connection not used. (7) LINE OUT: Audio / Video output connection not used. (8) VGA: Video / Graphics connection used for Touch Screen Monitor. (9) MS / KB: Mouse / Key Board connection not used. (10) COM 1: Serial port connection used for Touch Screen Monitor. (11) COM 2: Serial port connection not used. (12) COM 3: Serial port connection used for J42 Board. (13) COM 4: Serial port connection not used. (14) Rx1 / 2 / 3 / 4 LEDs - Green: Flash - COM serial port is receiving data. (15) Tx1 / 2 / 3 / 4 LEDs - Yellow: Flash - COM serial port is transmitting data. (16) LAN 1: Ethernet connection not used. (17) LAN 2: Ethernet connection not used. (18) 24V - GND: Power / ground connection used for J42 Board. (19) IDE LED - Green: Flash - Internal compact flash memory card of G4 JAM is transmitting / receiving data. (20) BTRY LED - Green: Off - Normal state. On - Internal battery of G4 JAM needs to be replaced. See G4 JAM Battery Replacement to replace battery. (21) PWR LED - Green: On - 24V power is supplied from J42 Board. Off - 24V power is not supplied from J42 Board. Press Power Switch (4).

6 PAGE 6 SERVICE BULLETIN NO A G4 JAM Memory Card - See Figures 4 and 5 The G4 JAM incorporates an internal access Compact Flash Memory Card. The memory card stores the operating system, bios configuration, all application programs and all data files for the machine. If the G4 JAM should fail, the memory card can be removed from the failed G4 JAM and installed in a new G4 JAM. The memory card also allows a newer program version to be easily installed in the new G4 JAM. 1. To remove the memory card: a. Important: Make sure all electrical power is turned off on the machine. b. Remove the four screws (1) and the cover plate (2) from the front of the G4 JAM. c. Carefully remove the memory card (3) from the lower compact flash card slot. Important: The upper card slot (A) is for a PCMCIA memory card that is not used. 2. To install the memory card: a. Flip the memory card upside down (vendor label will be on the bottom). b. Align the memory card with the lower compact flash card slot and carefully push it in until it is firmly seated. c. Replace the cover plate (2) on the front of the G4 JAM and secure with the four screws (1). 3. To start the program on the memory card: a. Turn on the electrical power to the machine. b. Boot-up the Jupiter Control System. c. As the system is booting up, the program on the memory card will be started. 1. If the existing memory card was installed, the existing program version will be started and all of the data files that were previously entered will be used. 2. If a different memory card was installed with a newer program version, the newer program version will be started and all of the data files will be reset to the default settings. d. If a newer program version was installed, be sure to record the program version.

8 PAGE 8 SERVICE BULLETIN NO A G4 JAM Battery Replacement - See Figure 6 The G4 JAM incorporates an internal Clock Battery and SRAM Battery. Both batteries should be replaced when the BTRY LED illuminates on the rear of the G4 JAM. Battery Specifications - BH1 Clock and BH2 SRAM: Lithium Battery: BR2032 (Using CR2032 is not recommended) Output Voltage: 3 VDC 1. To replace the batteries: a. Important: Make sure all electrical power is turned off on the machine. b. Disassemble the G4 JAM to gain access to the back-side of the board where the BH1 Clock Battery (1) and BH2 SRAM Battery (2) are located. c. Carefully remove the existing BH1 Clock Battery (1) and BH2 SRAM Battery (2) from the battery holders on the board. Use care not to damage the battery holders or board. d. Be sure the new batteries meet the specifications listed before installing the batteries. See Battery Specifications - BH1 Clock and BH2 SRAM. e. Install the new BH1 Clock Battery (1) and BH2 SRAM Battery (2) in the battery holders on the board. Use care not to damage the battery holders or board. f. Re-assemble the G4 JAM. g. Turn on the electrical power to the machine. h. Boot-up the Jupiter Control System. i. Make sure the BTRY LED is off (not illuminated) on the rear of the G4 JAM.

10 PAGE 10 SERVICE BULLETIN NO A J42 BOARD - See Figure 7 The J42 Board provides the communications interface between the G4 JAM and the Jupiter Network Modules (input / output) on the machine. The J42 Board provides 24 volt power to the G4 JAM via the J2 Connector and to the Jupiter Network Modules via the M23 Connector. The J42 Board improves reliability and diagnostics through the following: a. The connection to the 24 volt power on pins 4 and 8 of the Jupiter Network Cables (up to the first power distribution module) is through the J42 Board. b. The J42 Board provides the network connections between the G4 JAM and the first Jupiter Module in the network (module #2). c. The terminating resistor for the beginning of the network is located on the J42 Board. d. The J42 Board has a signal oscillator that drives the Daisy-Chain signal on the Jupiter Network Cable which allows the first module in the network to establish its address. All Daisy-Chain inputs, outputs and connections between modules must be fully functional for each module to successfully establish its location in the network. Network module addressing is secure and network diagnostics are more comprehensive. The J42 Board consists of the following: (1) J1: 24 V Power In connector used for J42 Board. (2) J2: 24V Power Out connector used for G4 JAM. (3) M23: Jupiter connector used for first Jupiter Module (module #2) in network. (4) TS1: Serial Port connection used for G4 JAM. (5) LED 1 - Red: Off - Normal state. On - Fuse is open (short). After fuse resets (cools), LED will go out. (6) LED 2 - Red: Off - Normal state. See LED Status Codes for information. (7) LED 3 - Yellow: Off - Normal state. See LED Status Codes for information. (8) LED 4 - Green: Flash at Slow Rate (Heart-Beat) - G4 JAM is in Idle Mode (not transmitting or receiving data). Flash at Fast Rate (Heart-Beat) - G4 JAM is in Normal Mode (transmitting or receiving data). See LED Status Codes for information.
